Welcome to Pay it Forward Day UK

Pay it Forward Day - 23rd April 2015

This is the fifth year the UK is officially celebrating Pay it Forward Day on the 23rd April 2015 when people will be invited to join a worldwide
movement in performing random acts of kindness to 3 or more people and asking those people to do the same. Last year, people in 65 countries took part in Pay it Forward Day and this year, we are
hoping to inspire over 5 million acts of kindness.

The idea of Pay it Forward Day comes from the novel, and subsequent film, Pay it Forward which tells the story of a young boy who does 3 good deeds for others in need. All the child asks in return
is that they pass on the good deed to three other people and keep the cycle going.

Get involved

Anyone can participate in Pay it Forward Day - all you need to do is do something for someone else without expecting anything in return. Buy someone a coffee, pay for someone's parking - and ask
them to do the same to 3 more people. For more ideas click here.
